Best of the best!

Yellow tomatoes do better and taste better than most here in the CA cool night scorching days country. This was the best yellow I've ever grown, fantastic flavor, perfect acid/sweet balance for our taste (we don't like the bland tomatoes like the paste tomatoes), produced over a range of temperatures, just the right size -- not huge, big enough to slice nicely.
Caveat: last year was the first year I grew this tomato. But it out-flavored our longtime favorite Hillbilly Potato Leaf and was as good as Brandywine, though different. Way better than Dr. Wyche's yellow. I've probably tried 50 varieties of tomato over the years and reduced my collection to the above and a few more smaller or special-purpose kinds. Well worth a try if you have a difficult (wide spread between day & night temps, days too hot for blossoms to pollinate) climate. As are the other favorites above.

A large gold colored tomato that I have grown for over 30 years. Very productive and has really good tomato flavor.

3rd year growing Kellogg's without a lot of success but I liked the color and flavor, but this year - oh boy! The long wet summer and high humidity drove many varieties to failure but these guys did their best! Large fruits still growing end of August!
